Your voice is yours and yours alone and it CAN get you hired. In this lecture, we'll explore why using your authentic voice matters when pitching clients and how to find yours.
The exercise: Pick up your phone (or email) and look through old messages to your closest friends and family members. We tend to be the most comfortable around the people we know, love, and trust. See if you can identify a tone, or repetitive behaviors, or repetitive phrases. Do you use exclamation points often? Do you use emojis in all of your communication?
If you can replicate your authentic voice, or incorporate your behaviors into your marketing efforts, two things will happen:
You'll repel people who are a bad fit for your business.
You'll attract people who are a good fit for your business.

Let's recap the lessons learned and next steps.
This course is PACKED with gems to help you find, pitch, and land clients with a high-success rate. Exploratory calls with clients are a crucial (yet often overlooked) part of being a VA.
What you'll learn:
Basically...everything you need to help you close deals and look good!
We start by learning about various methods for how to actually find and pitch clients. Included in that section are scripts to help you find the right wording and an exercise to help you find your authentic voice (which by the way, is really handy when it comes to marketing your services).
Next, we’ll cover the 10 most common interview questions that clients ask when you hop on the phone with them. Not only will we answer those questions together, but you’ll learn invaluable skills along the way like how to find your niche services, set boundaries with your clients, and close the deal.
Not only can you use this course to prepare for your own interview, but you can also use these questions as guidelines if you need to lead your own interview. Not every client you interview will be great at asking questions, so you can flip the script, and knock their socks off by guiding an informed conversation.
What's included:
A script to ask for referrals
A script to perfect your LinkedIn Headline and Summary
A writable PDF to help you find your core (niche) VA services
A script to send to clients immediately after your interview (including a contract to close the deal and sign your client!)
An eBook ~Delegation Blueprint ~ full of key insights, best practices, and suggested tasks to help your client get started.
BONUS: This course also includes a FREE DELEGATION BLUEPRINT. Occasionally, you'll have an exploratory call with a potential client who doesn't *quite* know what they need help with (or how to delegate to you effectively). The downloadable blueprint is the perfect eBook to send to clients who may need some extra hand-holding.
